Dissolve the yeast in the water. Place flour in a mixing bowl and stir in salt and sugar. Add yeast mixture and oil.
Mix until dough forms a ball and is soft and pliable.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough starts to stick to your hands add a small amount of flour.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides.
Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
Turn dough out onto board and divide into two balls. (We froze the 2nd ball.) Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Place dough on lightly oiled pan. Press into desired shape to fit pan. Dough should be thinner at the center than at the edge. Top with filling. Bake in preheated 400 degree over for 30 minutes or until done.
To defrost dough: Place dough in fridge overnight
Parmesan Dough Variation: Substitute 2 3/4 c flour and 1/4 c parmesan cheese for 3 c of flour
Oregano Dough Variation: Stir 2 tbsp chopped oregano into the flour
nommm! I make pizza dough in the bread machine… best purchase i ever made.
My mom and brother make their own pizza dough, but it’s not something I’ve ever tried myself. This definitely encourages me to do so. I think my fiance would love it; he loves homemade bread (we-er, well, HE made naan bread last week). Plus, a homemade pizza guarantees that you get exactly what you want on it. 🙂
Nom nom nom … I only ever started making pizza dough maybe a year ago. It’s not only really easy it also tastes a whole lot better compared to the store bought one (plus it’s cheaper too). To be honest though, I never even thought about using a mixer. Then again, I have a very small kitchen with only few appliances. 😉
This actually looks pretty simple! I may have to try this out.
That looks amazing! I’ve been wanting to do a lot more baking, though that will probably have to wait a few months. Anyway, I’ll save this post for when I have time:)

I love making pizzas completely from scratch! If you’ve got the time I think it’s SO worth it 🙂

This recipe is pretty simple and turned out amazing! Not much work at all for a great dough. I was hesitant because I had never made a dough and didn’t have a mixer but that wasn’t a problem at all. It was light and airy and made a great pizza. Thanks for sharing!
can this recipe be used for bread?
My husband and I have been saving for a kitchenaid mixer, this is how we make our dough too (by hand)! Sure is a good arm workout!
I really want to try this recipe, but the all the yeast envelopes/sachets that I can find are different amounts…7g, 8g, 11g, 50g or 56g.
What amount of yeast do you use in grams please so I can be accurate?
Thank you 😊
